In SnowRunner there are again numerous challenges that you have to complete with different vehicles. You unlock the vehicles from time to time and you can also improve the trucks and add upgrades. Even though the third-person view is very practical in most cases, as you often have to rotate the camera around the vehicle, there are also situations in which you would like to use the first-person or first-person perspective want to play. But is that even possible in SnowRunner?

Find SnowRunner lost container


Where do you find the “Spare Parts for a Drill” in SnowRunner? One or two players who play the new terrain simulation from Saber Interactive might ask something similar. You have to look for the spare parts for the mission “Lost Container” and even though the mission is very simple, one or two players might be looking for the missing container. The reason for this is that due to a bug, the lost container is probably not always shown with a marker on the map and then it is not that easy to find it. If you have the same problem in SnowRunner, this short guide may help.

SnowRunner: Lost Container Mission

For the SnowRunner mission called “Lost Container” you have to go to Michigan Black River and visit the camp in the southeast. The important thing is that you need a truck with a crane. The crane can be either a jib crane or a telescopic crane, although the latter is not essential for the mission as you only need to lift a small wooden box. If the lost container is not shown on the map, then you simply have to look to the right of the road as seen from the warehouse (the position can also be seen in the screenshot). The container or wooden box should be located here and you can lift it with the crane and then bring the delivery to the warehouse.

In order to use the crane, you must of course first switch to crane mode. To do this, move the control pad up and press the square button (PS4) or the X button (XBox One). You can then control the crane and load the container and bring it to its destination.

SnowRunner: Get and operate the crane


Where do you actually get the crane in SnowRunner? How can you buy a jib crane or the telescopic crane? This is a question that will certainly concern one or two players of the new terrain simulation called SnowRunner on the PC, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. In SnowRunner you can gradually unlock around 40 vehicles from well-known manufacturers and use them to master various challenges. The individual vehicles can be improved and modified in the workshop. For example, you can build a jib crane or a large telescopic crane on a truck. The only question is, how exactly does it work?

Buy a crane and attach it to the truck

To get a crane, all you have to do is take the truck to the workshop and select the “Customize” option. At the bottom of the upgrades you will find the frame additions and here, in addition to various superstructures and tanks, there is also a jib crane and a telescopic crane. Depending on which truck it is, there are more or fewer frame accessories to choose from.

Operate and control the crane

Then you press the control pad up and can then switch to crane mode using the square button (PS4) or the X button (Xbox One). Now you can turn the crane and extend or retract it again using the analog stick. You can raise and lower the crane using the front shoulder buttons.

How do you turn on the truck lights in SnowRunner? Do the vehicles even have lights and if so, how can you activate them? This question will certainly concern one or two players of the new terrain simulation for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. In SnowRunner there is a day-night cycle and if you are driving the truck in the evening or at night, it can get pretty dark. In order to be able to continue working, you can switch on the light on the truck.

SnowRunner: This is how you can turn on the lights of the truck

To turn on the light, all you have to do is press the L1 button and the circle button (PlayStation 4) or the LB button and the B button (Xbox One) on the controller. If you play on the PC, you can activate the headlights by default using the L button. The light is then switched on and you can switch it off again using the same key combination.

  • PlayStation 4: L1 button + Circle button
  • Xbox One: LB button + B button
  • PC: L key

By the way, if you don’t feel like driving a long truck through the night to your destination, you can also fast forward the time in the map menu in SnowRunner. To do this, open the map in the game and use the T key to “Skip time”. The time of day and time should now change at the top left if you press the T button once. Finally, you can simply leave the map and the in-game time will be fast-forwarded. In certain areas it is sometimes an advantage to have daylight and not have to fight through steep slopes and difficult terrain with headlights.

Transporting SnowRunner medium logs: Which trailer?


How can you in SnowRunner transport medium-sized logs? Which trailer? you have to buy if you medium trunks want to transport from A to B in Wisconsin? The question might be something like this from one or another player who has bought SnowRunner and is playing Season 3 Locate & Deliver. In the expansion you can transport different tree trunks of different sizes in the wild Wisconsin. In order to transport the tree trunks, you need not only a suitable truck but also the right trailer. The only question is, which truck and trailer do you need for the medium-sized tree trunks?

SnowRunner: Transport medium-sized logs

In contrast to the long trunks, the selection of trucks or trailers with which you can transport the medium-sized trunks is currently still quite manageable. According to our research you can medium sized trees currently only transport with the CAT 745C. It will probably only be a matter of time before more trucks and trailers are integrated into SnowRunner, with which you can transport the medium logs from A to B if you don’t want to use the CAT 745C.

Are there any alternatives to the CAT 745C mentioned above if you want to transport medium-sized logs in SnowRunner? If there has been an update with new vehicles or trailers in the meantime, we would be happy to receive a brief note in the comments and we will add the information here in the article.

Is there actually a money cheat in SnowRunner that allows you to unlock everything and buy all the trucks at the push of a button? If so, how does the SnowRunner money cheat work on PC, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?

[HOT] : SNOWRUNNER – HOW TO PLAY WITH THE CONTROLLER ON PC

If like me you play SnowRunner on PC, you might be wondering what peripherals the game recognizes and you might like to play the controller on PC.

I have started playing the keyboard and find that in the end it has more disadvantages than advantages. It is certainly easier to navigate in the menus with the keyboard than with the joystick (and to use the various winch points in the process) but the control is much more complicated and imprecise. And after all, driving is a bit the sinews of war on SnowRunner!

If you don’t have a console, don’t panic, the game is very well configured to use different peripherals. So how do you go about playing SnowRunner on PC with a controller?

Option 1: Plug in the controller and… that’s it!

  • Connect your PSA or Xbox controller to your PC, either wired (use the supplied USB cable for this) or Bluetooth
  • Connect to the game and you will then see that the controller is directly taken into account instead of the keyboard. You will be able to change the key assignment in the control settings panel.

If this first option works for you, then good game. But sometimes it doesn’t work, so I invite you to read option 2.

Option 2: Use controller recognition software (PS4)

If by plugging in your controller, nothing happens, you will have to install a little software (this is valid for any game).

Configure a PS4 controller

  • Download the DS4Windows software by clicking here.
  • Unzip the file on your desktop.
  • Start the installation of DS4Windows.exe.
  • Install the DS4 driver.
  • Connect your controller to the PC (either by USB or by Bluetooth), it will then be recognized and can be configured using the DS4Windows control panel.

Set up an Xbox controller

You shouldn’t have too many problems setting up your Xbox controller (especially if you are on the latest versions of Windows) since the Xbox is owned by Microsoft. If your Xbox controller is not recognized, however, be sure to update your plugins.

The joys of driving on snowy or muddy roads are yours!

SnowRunner players on Xbox and PlayStation consoles can now enjoy vehicles, maps and other community-created content through mod support.

SnowRunner mods are available through mod.io, a cross-platform alternative to the Steam Workshop. You just need to create an account on the platform to take advantage of the 694 mods currently offered.

Available since April 28, the off-road driving simulation launched its season 2 in November, with two new maps located in the Canadian plains of the Yukon. Two more seasons are planned, at least in the game’s first season pass.

SnowRunner puts you behind the wheel of many massive and overpowered all-terrain vehicles from renowned brands such as Pacific, Navistar and many more, in open environments under extreme conditions. Explore over 15 new “sandbox” game environments up to 4x the size of MudRunner.

Genre : Courses

[HOT] : Snowrunner: How do I access the new Rift map?

When Snowrunner came out, the game consisted of a total of 11 cards spread over three regions. The game developers are adding 12 maps with the 5.0 update. This is the Faille card (or Rift in English), located in the Taimyr region in Russia. In this article we invite you to discover this brand new playground together!

How to access the new Rift card?

The new Rift map is located in the last region of the game, Taimyr (Russia). If you have completed the maps of the region (or at least well advanced), access will be very easy. In fact, all you have to do is go to the “Flooded Land” map, then head towards the crossing point to the far north. From there you will reach the second map of the “Career” area. As a reminder, there is no garage on this map, so no teleportation is possible. Once in this area, go all the way north to find the passage to the new area (see map below).

If you have made little progress in the maps of Taimyr, the passage to the “Career” card will surely be closed to you. To unlock it you will then have to do two missions on the “Flooded Land” map:

  • Geological exploration: you will need to probe three areas in the map with the seismic vibrator. Little advice, the areas are sometimes difficult to access, plan a good truck, I recommend for example the Azov 64131.
  • Beyond the horizon: you will have to deliver some cargo to a point on the map, nothing very complicated for this second mission.
  • Once the two missions have been completed, you will have access to the career map and from there you can easily go to the new Rift map.

    You can also find the whole path in the video below.

    General presentation of the fault card

    Below is the full map of the new area, in two different formats.

    Let’s start with a quick overview of the buildings that you will find on the map. There are not many, there are 4 in all:

    • To the south of the area you will find a gas pump, very practical because it is the only one on the card.
    • To the south-east you will find a refreshment point where you can load cement.
    • To the east you will find a auto break where you can load metal beams.
    • To the northeast you will find a scierie where you can load wooden planks.

    You will therefore notice that as on the “Career” card, there is no garage on the “Faille” map, you will therefore have to make the entire trip directly from the garage of the “Flooded Land” card, which requires you to prepare well for your exit, to know what you are going to do there, and to adapt your vehicle accordingly.

    On the side of missions now, here are the new features of update 5.0:

    • 3 new contracts in Taïmyr: “Pathfinder”, “Uplinks” and “Data mining”.
    • 10 new tasks on the Rift card.
    • 1 new challenge on the fault map which consists of mapping as quickly as possible different points of the fault located in the center of the map.

    General atmosphere and opinion on the menu

    This map, located far north of Taimyr, obviously remains in the style of the other maps of the area: lots of forests, lots of mud, lots of water…

    After having made almost all the turn of the map I did not meet, by memory, a single square centimeter of asphalt, you will only drive on dirt roads. This is a factor to take into account when choosing your vehicles.

    The area has suffered, like the rest of the game, the ravages of nature. You will therefore evolve in flooded spaces and you will cross many partly destroyed villages.

    The map does not completely revolutionize things, it is an extension of Taimyr which uses the same codes. But I must admit that I personally enjoyed the discovery of these new spaces and I stuck to the general atmosphere that emerges from “Faille”. You really have the impression that you are alone in the world and that you have to come and help rebuild the devastated area.

    To give you a general opinion of the atmosphere of the area, you will find below some screens taken in the area and a video gameplay in which we discover the 4 watchtowers of “Rift” while discovering the map.

    The Rift card may bring us other surprises in the future. This is what suggests the road located far north of the area, for the moment blocked, but which could one day welcome a new crossing point… towards the future maps of the next DLC? Wait and see!

The deadlines are shorter than for the previous challenges but if you take a well-maneuvered vehicle and you pay attention to narrow passages, everything should be fine!

    Step 4: Complete all contracts on the Pic du Gros Saumon map

    Now we have to deal with the three contracts in the area which will once again require you to deliver a lot, a lot, a lot of cargo! Let’s go :

Go to the cement plant next to it in order to transform the cement into 3 Concrete slabs. Deliver everything to the unloading area. Then go to the warehouse located southwest of the map to load 2 Small pipes and deliver them. You will now have to make 2 huts. To do this, collect 4 planks of wood from the many no-ruin houses on the map and 2 Freight Containers either from the northeast warehouse or along the railroad tracks. Deliver all of this to the cabin construction site north of the garage. Craft the cabins and deliver them to the residential area. Finally, get 8 Rolls of Metal from the warehouses in the northeast and take them to the Rolled Steel Factory to build the 2 Big Pipes. Deliver them to the point indicated to complete the first contract.
    • Plant: Sewage treatment: Go to the warehouses in the northwest to load 8 Cements. Go to the cement factory to craft 4 Concrete Blocks and 2 Concrete Slabs. Deliver everything to the unloading area. Go back to the warehouse in the northwest to load 4 Metal Rolls and 2 Metal Beams (you can also take them from the various ruined houses). Go south to the Rolled Steel Factory to transform your rollers into 4 Small Pipes. Deliver everything to the unloading area. Then finish by delivering the fuel tanked semi-trailer (located at the far north of the map) to the unloading area.
    • Factory: Tank: Start by going around the last ruined houses to pick up 4 Metal Beams and go deliver them. Go to the warehouses in the north-west to load 6 Rolls of metal and 2 Bricks. Go to the Rolled Steel Factory to turn the rollers into 3 Medium Pipes. Deliver everything to the point indicated. Go back to the Northwest Warehouses to load 4 Cements, 1 Freight Container. Convert the cement at the cement plant into 4 Concrete Blocks. On the way back, grab 2 Bricks from one of the ruined houses and deliver it all to the unloading area.

    [HOT] : COMPLETE THE FLOODED HILLS (YUKON) MAP IN Snowrunner Part two

    Step 1: Rebuild the Conveyor Belt

    Now that all the tasks and challenges are complete, we will be able to focus on contracts. For the first, Cargo Crafting, take an all-terrain truck equipped with a 4-slot trailer. You will need to deliver 1 Freight Container and 2 Planks of Wood to the Cabin Construction Site located at the far south of the map in order to create a Cabin. You will find the freight container right next door at the train station. For the wooden planks you will find them either at the warehouse near the garage or in one of the houses to be deconstructed present all over the map. Once everything is delivered, you can build the hut and deliver it right next to it to finish Cargo manufacturing .

    We will now move on to the Section 1 Conveyor belt contract. Start by going to load 2 Metal Beams at the warehouse located to the east of the map and deliver them to the point indicated. Pick up your truck from the garage or take another one and equip it so that it can transport 6 cargoes (for example trailer 5 places + crane). Go to the warehouse to the far north of the map to load 2 units of Fuel and units of Consumable. Deliver everything to the point indicated. We are now going to go craft the cabin, to do so, collect 2 Wooden Planks in one of the many ruined houses on the map as well as a freight container at the train station to the south. Take all of this to the cabin construction site to the south and finish by delivering the cabin to the point indicated which allows you to finish Section 1 Conveyor belt . Small tip: to deliver the cabin you normally have to do it with the Caterpillar TH357 (the forklift), but it also works by pushing the cabin with your vehicle against the delivery location or using your crane (the cable passes through the roof). It’s not very academic, but it avoids a very long round trip!

    We now move on to the second stage of the repair of the conveyor belt. To do this, start from the garage and equip your truck with an 8-slot trailer because you will have to transport a lot of things. Go up to the warehouse to the far north of the map to load 4 small pipes and deliver them to the point indicated. Now go down to the station, far south of the map to load 2 concrete blocks and collect 4 wooden planks on the various ruined houses in the area. Deliver all of this to the point shown to complete Section 2 Conveyor .

    For the 3rd and final step of rebuilding the conveyor belt start by loading 4 Rolls of Metal at the warehouse next to the garage and 2 Bricks at the ruined house next door. Go deliver it all. Before descending to the far south of the map, collect 2 units of Bricks and 2 Plates of Wood from the many ruined houses in the center of the map. Go deliver the bricks. Then go to the station to load a Concrete Slab and a Freight Container. With all this, go build your cabin. All you have to do is deliver the Concrete Slab and the Hut to the points indicated in order to finish Section 3 Conveyor belt .

    Step 2: Restart the gold mine

    Now that the conveyor belt is repaired, we will turn to the side of the gold mine in order to restart it. You might as well warn you, you will be going back and forth! We therefore advise you to use the largest possible trailer, such as the one with 8 locations, even if it is not the easiest to maneuver. The mine is located at altitude, favor as much as possible the climb located to the south of the map, much easier to access than the others.

    For the 10 rolls of metal you can find a limited number at the warehouse located next to the garage, the one located to the north, the train station to the south of the map and the warehouse to the east. . However, this will be insufficient. To complete, you will then have to deliver metal beams to the steel factory located at the far east of the map. Once you have successfully collected or produced the 10 Metal Scrolls, go deliver them to the Gold Mine.

    For the 4 concrete slabs, the easiest way is to load 4 units of cement at the warehouse located next to the garage and go deliver them to the cement plant located to the west of the map in order to be able to create 4 concrete slabs. concrete. All you have to do is cross the map to deliver them. Pick up bricks on the various ruined houses along the road to optimize your journey.

    For fuel you will find in limited quantities at the warehouse located near the garage and in unlimited quantities at the warehouse north of the map. Load up 6 units and take 2 brick units from the ruined houses on the way and hand it all over. You just have to deliver 8 units of bricks, you can get supplies at the northern warehouse or on the ruined houses.

    To finish bring two units of wood plank and a freight container to the construction site, build the hut and deliver it to the indicated point as we are now used to. Congratulations, you’ve just finished… oh no, it’s not over yet! New cargo is now required to rebuild the mine.

    Start by delivering 5 Metal Beams (4 on the trailer and 1 on the crane) by taking them to the warehouse located next to the garage. Then go load 8 wooden boards at the sawmill located north of the map and take with your crane the last metal beam. Go deliver it all. Finally, load 6 units of Cement and 2 Small pipes at the northern warehouse and transform the cement at the cement plant into 6 Concrete blocks. Deliver this last cargo to the mine. You have finally completed the contract Revive old mines .

    Step 3: Build the ore sorting center

    Last big chunk of the Flooded Hills map, we’re going to have to rebuild the ore sorting center. Again, a lot, a lot to deliver! An 8-seater trailer and a crane are therefore still recommended. Simply start by loading 4 Metal Beams to the warehouse near the garage and delivering them. At the sawmill located to the north of the map, load 8 Planks of wood, deliver 6 to the sorting center and leave 2 aside, we will then need them to build the hut.

    At the warehouse located to the north of the map load 8 units of cement then go to the cement plant to transform them into 4 Concrete blocks and 2 Concrete slabs. Deliver the blocks to the sorting center and leave the 2 slabs there, you will need them afterwards. Still at the northern warehouse, load 6 Consumables and 2 Bricks. Deliver the consumables to the sorting center and set aside the bricks.

    Reload the 2 Wooden Planks left aside on the spot, head south to the train station to load a Freight Container and turn it all into a cabin at the Cabin Construction Site. Deliver the hut to the point indicated to complete the first part of this contract.

    For the second part, we’ll start with the most difficult, the Metal Rolls. Load up 3 Metal Beams at the warehouse near the garage and go to the Rolled Steel Factory to the far east of the map to transform them into 6 Rolls of Metal. Then deliver them to the sorting center.

    At the northern warehouse load 8 Fuels and deliver them to the sorting center. Then take 6 Bricks from the same warehouse and deliver them. On site you already have 2 bricks as well as the 2 concrete slabs. Return everything that will allow you to complete the contract Ore sorting center .

    Step 4: Delivery to the top of the mountain

    For the last contract that we can do at the moment on the Flood Hills map, you just need to take an all-terrain truck equipped with a high hitch. Then go to the train station to the south of the map to hitch up the coiled-pipe semi-trailer. Then deliver this trailer to the gold mine, taking care to go through the south climb (the one next to the rolled steel factory). This will end the contract Delivery to the top of the mountain .

    Conclusion

    Congratulations, you have completely completed the Flood Hills map, with the small exception of the Final Check contract which will not be unlocked until the second map is completed. You can now turn to the side of the Peak of the big salmon.

    There you have it, you’ve discovered the entire Flood Hill map, unlocked all upgrades and vehicles, and completed all tasks and challenges. You will now be able to devote yourself to the contracts of the zone which will be presented to you in part 2 of this guide!

    Once the map is completely uncovered, we will now get down to the tasks. We will start with the task Benne contre Benne who will allow us to unlock the new vehicle Caterpillar 770G. To do this, take an all-terrain truck equipped with a low hitch and go to the point indicated to hitch the trailer, you just have to deliver it to the garage and then refuel the vehicle to unlock it.

    Using your scout vehicle then go further south to hitch the trailer and then deliver it north to complete the task Helping others . From there, hitch up the pickup and tow it further south to Uncle Joe’s scrapyard to complete the task. Towing at altitude .

    Now take an all-terrain truck, equipped with a trailer (2 or 4 slots) and a crane and go to the frozen lake to the far east of the map. Pick up the 4 Oil Barrels and deliver them just south to finish Failed delivery .

    With this same vehicle go further west in order to take the 2 units of Spare Parts to complete the task. After the flood . To do this, you will have to cross the river, be careful where you go because the height of the water can drown the engine. The entire eastern part of the map is now complete.

    Step 4: All the tasks and challenges of the southern part of the map

    To start the southern part of the map we will first take care of the bridges if you haven’t already done so. From the garage, take out an all-terrain truck equipped with a 4-slot trailer and load just south of the garage 2 Metal Beams. Deliver them to the bridge to complete the task West bridge . Go over the bridge and hitch up the trailer located right next to the Overhead Delivery task to complete the task Wooden bridge .

    With your truck go up a little north in order to get the trailer out of the water and deliver it to the point indicated in order to validate Trailer whirlwind . Using a scout-type vehicle, take the scout trailer located to the south of the map and load 2 units of wooden planks and deliver them all to the southwest in order to finish High delivery .

    Finally, you have to do the last two challenges in the area Short journey and Long journey located next to each other. If you take a scout vehicle like for example the Tuz 420 Tatarin you will have no problem to finish them in gold. Small advice, validate the last point before the first because it is located very close to the start, it will save you time.

    [HOT] : HOW TO COMPLETE 100% LAKE KOVD (KOLA PENINSULA) CARD IN SNOWRUNNER

    The following guide introduces you all the steps to follow, step by step, to complete 100% the Lake Kovd map in the Kola Peninsula. This is the map added to Snowrunner in the update 6.0 and reserved for players who have the Season Pass de Snowrunner. Completing the map at 100% therefore means completing all missions, unlocking all achievements, and collecting all vehicles and upgrades. Of course, if you don’t want to spoil the game, I invite you not to read it.

    Introduction

    In the guide you will find suggestions for trucks to use. This choice is very subjective, everyone has their favorites. While this guide is quite effective, it is not a speedrun. There are more efficient ways to complete areas 100%.

    On the Lake Kovd map, we will discover the following:

    • 3 watchtowers,
    • 5 improvements,
    • 2 vehicles (Ford F 750 and TUZ 16 Actaeon),
    • 29 missions (7 contracts + 20 tasks + 2 challenges),

    Step 1: Discover the Lake Kovd map

    As the first map of the Kola Peninsula area, the Lake Kovd map obviously has a garage. We will, as usual, start by exploring this new map. Take your Tuz 420 Tatarin out of the garage and start by visiting the 3 watchtowers located all to the south of the map . Remember to activate all the missions you pass. The particularity of this new map is that most of the places are still not discovered once the 3 watchtowers have been visited.

    To discover the rest of the map, you will have to use the mobile reconnaissance unit. To find it, activate the contract The forgotten prototype . Go to the station which is next to the 3rd Watchtower with your Tatarin and attach the trailer with your winch (to access it you must pass between the wagons and the wall of the first building). Then deliver it to the requested point. To complete the contract you will need to hitch the trailer to another scout who can do it (the Tatarin can only pull it with the winch).

    Now take your scout equipped with the mobile reconnaissance unit (I personally took the Hummer H2 equipped for snow) and go to collect the 5 improvements of the area . To help you find them, you can use our guide dedicated to improvements to the Kola Peninsula. At the same time occasionally use the mobile reconnaissance unit to reveal the whole map. Activate the maximum number of missions.

    Take advantage of your journey to activate and terminate the contract Sites of military glory which simply asks you to visit 3 crossing points that will be on your route.

    Step 2: Complete the Lake Kovd card contracts

    We will now focus on completing all contracts in the area. Go back to the garage, take a scout vehicle of your choice (eg the Tatarin) and activate the contract Tense situation that simply requires you to go through several crossing points. When finished, collect your vehicle from the garage and activate Almost afloat which again asks you to go to several waypoints on the ice in the center of the map. A scout vehicle is once again recommended.

    Continue with the contract Rescue – Swamp then Rescue – The northern tributary which are on the same principle as the previous two. Nothing complicated, just watch out for the ice that breaks as your vehicle passes by, you can quickly get stuck.

    Leave your scout at this location (this is important for the end of the area, it will save you some time) and take an all terrain truck (e.g. Azov 64131) equipped with a loading crane and a 4-slot trailer. Activate the contract Cottage fever and deliver both trailers to the requested location. If like me you encounter a bug to validate the objective, simply drop the 2 trailers in the delivery area and the contract should end on its own. Make the task on your way The life of the rail which asks you to visit a few points which will be right on your way.

    Step 3: Complete Lake Kovd tasks (part 1/3)

    Stay aboard your off-road truck and load the secure container that is right next to you and the oil barrel a little to the west onto your trailer. Take the opportunity to retrieve the Salt 16 « Actaeon » located next to the barrel in your garage, this will unlock the first vehicle in the area (see our guide to this vehicle). Deliver the container to the port to complete the task Army Reserve .

    Now hang the oil barrel on the winch of your crane and load 2 units of metal beams onto your trailers (this will allow you to limit the number of round trips). Deliver a first beam south of the garage to complete Temporary measures . Head east of the map now in order to deliver the oil barrel and thus finish Abandoned convoy . A little further north, use your second metal beam to repair the bridge and thus finish Old intersection .

    Leave your truck and trailer at this location and take a scout vehicle from your garage to complete Pit stop that asks you to deliver a trailer. Still aboard the scout, continue east to finish Factory panorama (you will have to squeeze through real mouse holes to succeed in reaching all the points, so take a small scout and go everywhere).

    Then go with your scout to the south of the map in order to tow the Tuz 166 then deliver it to the requested point in order to finish Antiquity intact . Now go further east to tow and deliver DON 71 for On ice .

    Step 4: Complete Lake Kovd tasks (part 2/3)

    Now go back to the garage and take an all-terrain vehicle. Go north of the map to hitch up the repair trailer and use it to repair the ZIKZ 5368, deliver it and finish this way Like brothers . Go back to the garage, take out an all-terrain vehicle, and buy a repair trailer from the trailer store. Go to the far west of the map in order to repair the KHAN Lo4F, then deliver it in order to finish Up to the knees.

    Equip your all-terrain truck with a 4-seater trailer and go load 2 units of wooden planks and 3 units of spare parts (place the 5th cargo on your crane) to the south of the map. Let’s go for a tour of the map with this heavy load in order to finish in order Dilapidated guard post, Losing number, Cloudy weather and finally Goods delivery (for the last delivery to the east, if your truck + trailer does not pass on the path surrounded by rocks, go through the mountains and the forest). Before delivering the last cargo, go through the point at the far north of the map to validate Flat calm.

    Step 5: Complete Lake Kovd tasks (part 3/3)

    Now go back to the garage and get the Spare Parts at the far south of the map then deliver them to the garage to finish Bad weather .

    Take back your scout vehicle which is at the far northwest of the map (the one you left after the Rescue – The Northern Tributary contract). Then visit the 4 crossing points next to you to finishr Frozen in time . On board your scout, tow the Ford F 750 to the north camp to finish foreigner . This will allow you in passing to unlock the second vehicle on the map, the Ford F 750 (see our guide this vehicle). Always aboard your scout, all you have to do is visit a few crossing points to validate Rural speleologist , it is very likely that you have already validated a good part of it during your many journeys.

    Step 6: Let’s go for the challenges of Lake Kovd

    To fully complete the Lake Kovd map, you must now go through the two challenges in the area. On board a scout, head to the center of the map to validate Battle on the ice which will ask you to go through 6 waypoints in 4 minutes. Be careful with the thin ice, you may well find yourself stuck!

    Still aboard your scout, go to the south of the map to validate Overturned wagons which asks you to go through 2 crossing points in 5 minutes. Nothing too complicated to note for this challenge.

    Conclusion

    You have just fully completed the Lake Kovd map added in Snowrunnner update 6.0. Congratulation ! We must now move on to the content added in update 7.0 which adds, among other things, the Imandra map.

    [HOT] : HOW TO END 100% DRUMMOND ISLAND (MICHIGAN) IN SNOWRUNNER

    The following guide introduces you all the steps to follow, step by step, to complete 100% the Drummond Island map in Michigan. So that means completing all missions, unlocking all achievements, and collecting all vehicles and upgrades. Of course, if you don’t want to spoil the game, I invite you not to read it.

    Note that this guide is a translation of the excellent work done by -Stuart- on Reddit, whom I thank greatly for his work and for accepting that I translate it for the Francophone community of Snowrunner. You will find the original article at this address.

    Introduction

    In the guide you will find suggestions for trucks to use. This choice is very subjective, ceveryone has their favorites. In this guide, we only use two main vehicles. However, you will accumulate a lot of money as you progress, so feel free to experiment. As a reminder, you can buy and then resell vehicles and upgrades for the same price. So you don’t lose anything by trying different vehicles.

    While this guide is quite effective, it is not a speedrun. There are more efficient ways to complete areas 100%.

    On the Drummond Island map, we will discover the following elements:

    • 4 watchtowers,
    • 2 improvements,
    • 1 vehicle,
    • 11 missions (1 contract + 8 tasks + 1 challenges),
    • 1 success.

    Step 1: Discover the map and the upgrades

    When you arrive on this new map, leave the Azov aside and use the Tatarin to unlock the last 4 watchtowers and retrieve the last 2 improvements . To help you find the improvements, you can consult this guide. The good news is that Dummond Island has a gas station unlike the previous map, the bad news is that there is still no garage. By doing this, you will unlock your sixteenth achievement:

    Deer hunting (Find all upgrades in Michigan)

    Step 2: Reconstruction of bridges

    You have probably noticed that the absence of certain bridges in the area makes your life difficult. So go back to your Azov, leave the trailer with the container for the moment and go to finish the task. Help the rangers using the wooden plank trailer located right next to where you entered Drummond Island. Leave the trailer at the gas station and go to the task marker to accept Bridges and Men. Just north of here you’ll find Michigan’s last truck, the Pacific P16 . It’s useless without a hitch, so grab it and sell it.

    Use the trailer you left at the gas station to collect wooden planks and complete Bridges and men . The last task to rebuild the bridges, Ten-Hut requires a lot of deliveries. You will find the metal in a trailer located next to where you are accepting the job. The concrete slabs are located in a trailer near the house where you can accept the Cousin Cletus task. For the second phase of the task, you need to return to the Smithville Dam map and purchase a flatbed semi-trailer from the nearby trailer store then load it up at the warehouse.

    Step 3: End of all tasks

    Now that the bridges are rebuilt, return to get your trailer with the drilling equipment and deliver it to the port to complete the contract. Port delivery .

    Then take back the Tatarin and perform the following tasks: Silent Observer , Forged in the sea (task deleted during updates), Tourist attraction , Mud fight as well as the challenge A race in the rain .

    For the last two tasks – Lost delivery and Cousin Cletus , you will need a vehicle with a platform and a loading crane. The problem is that your Azov is always equipped with a low hitch. You can therefore choose to return to the garage, but it is a round trip that will take you time. The alternative to this is to simply use a trailer and ride with the cargo balanced in the back of the truck. Both options work but take time, so make your own choice.

    Step 4: It’s time to move on to the last contract

    You now only have one contract left: New with the old . To achieve this you are going to need a high hitch that you do not have. You must therefore recover the Azov in the Smithville Dam garage, remove the crane and equip it with a high hitch. You can take the opportunity to get the Tatarin in the garage as well, you won’t need it anymore.

    Instead of going directly to the port to do the contract, do the following without ever refueling. Start from the garage on the Smithville Dam map, drive to the Black River map, look no further, turn around and retrace your steps. Now head to the Drummond Island map and continue your way to the waypoint to Island Lake. Again, pass it, stop and retrace your steps. Doing this will allow you to complete 1/3 of the Fuel Savings achievement. You can now refuel and head to the port to pick up the trailer.

    Regarding this last contract, Azov can take care of getting the trailer to its destination without any problem. The Pacific P12 and P16 vehicles can also do this very easily. So don’t hesitate to experiment by purchasing other vehicles. In addition, you have the choice of the route. On one side you can take a fast path but where the risks are high because of the rocks in the water near where you will enter on the Smithville Dam map. On the other hand, you can choose to take a longer but safer route via the dam and the farm. I recommend using this second option especially since bugs have been reported by players who could not reset the mission. So you might as well play it safe!

    It is a long journey that you will have to take to deliver the trailer. Remember to turn wide when cornering and make good use of the winch points on the trailer if you need to. For the next step, the metal is on a trailer located at the logistics base. Finally, the oil rig is easier to deliver with a low hitch and a flatbed semi-trailer.

    Conclusion

    By this point, you should have discovered 26 watchtowers, unlocked 21 upgrades and completed 82 missions (20 contracts + 54 tasks + 8 challenges) and be somewhere around level 16. Note: the vehicle counter discovered in-game does not work, there is a bug, but you have discovered 9.

    Congratulations, you have completely completed the Michigan maps. Now let’s go to Alaska!

    [HOT] : HOW TO END ISLAND LAKE (MICHIGAN) IN SNOWRUNNER


    The following guide introduces you all the steps to follow, step by step, to complete 100% the map of Island Lake in Michigan. So that means completing all missions, unlocking all achievements, and collecting all vehicles and upgrades. Of course, if you don’t want to spoil the game, I invite you not to read it.

    Note that this guide is a translation of the excellent work done by -Stuart- on Reddit, whom I thank greatly for his work and for accepting that I translate it for the Francophone community of Snowrunner. You will find the original article at this address.

    Introduction

    In the guide you will find suggestions for trucks to use. This choice is very subjective, ceveryone has their favorites. In this guide, we only use two main vehicles. However, you will accumulate a lot of money as you progress, so feel free to experiment. As a reminder, you can buy and then resell vehicles and upgrades for the same price. So you don’t lose anything by trying different vehicles.

    While this guide is quite effective, it is not a speedrun. There are more efficient ways to complete areas 100%.

    On the Island Lake map, we will discover the following:

    • 8 watchtowers,
    • 4 improvements,
    • 1 vehicle,
    • 15 missions (4 contracts + 10 tasks + 1 challenges),
    • 2 successes.

    Step 1: Discover the new card

    Island Lake is the first map we come across that doesn’t have a garage or gas station. So this will require a little more strategy, but nothing too complicated, don’t worry. Go to the Smithville Dam garage and take out the Azov equipped with the small loading crane and low hitch.

    Also take out the Tatarin using which you will tow the Azov with the winch. Activate the contract The rebirth of the wood factory and head south to the location of the tarpaulin trailer. Attach the trailer to the Azov and let the Tartarin tow them to the waypoint to the Island Lake map.

    You’ve arrived at Island Lake in style! Leave the trailer and the Azov at the entrance of the map and use the Tartarin to visit the 8 watchtowers and collect the 4 upgrades by helping you if necessary map in this article.

    While there aren’t any garages or gas stations on the map, you’ll notice a few fuel trailers scattered all over the place. It is important to manage your fuel, using these trailers as benchmarks when you need them. Do not forget to fill up on the additional containers present on the Tatarin gallery. In addition, the trailer store will serve as a center to refuel and repair your vehicles for free. After all, you just have to buy the necessary trailers, use them and then sell them immediately.

    Step 2: Validation of Island Lake tasks and challenges

    Use the Tatarin to perform the first easy tasks: A little help for my friends , A signal from the mountains , The hunter and the car and A rusty legacy . At level 13, you unlock mud tires for the Azov. It’s probably not worth going back to the Smithville Dam Garage just for that optimization, but if you find yourself nearby for some reason, be sure to buy them.

    You probably realized that there were a lot of wooden bridges to be repaired in the area. Take the Azov, go to the trailer store and buy a flatbed semi-trailer. Then go to the logging station and take 5 units of wooden planks. Automatically load the 5 units onto the trailer, move forward and then unpack the cargo. Then just attach your crane to 4 of the 5 timber units, you don’t even have to lift them, just connect to them. Finally, repack the cargo on the trailer, and this will unlock your fourteenth achievement:

    • Blood and sweat (Manually load at least 4 standard freight units in a row and store them in your truck)

    Now start to deliver your wood planks to determine the following tasks: Bridging the gap , Difficult negotiations , Growing business and Bob the hunter bridge . Keep your trailer in order to finish Antenna overturned and the challenges Flaming cans . Then go back to the trailer store, sell it and then buy a maintenance trailer. Take it there and go to the task level Repair the bridge . Refuel and partially repair the truck. You won’t have enough to fix it completely all at once. So go back to the trailer store to resell / buy the same trailer and start over. This will unlock the Western Star 6900 TS . Collect it, keep it, and sell it. Leave the trailer at the repair location, it will serve as a refueling / repair point.

    Depending on how often you’ve repaired your own vehicles, you should unlock your 15th achievement

    • Play as you like (Repair 2000 points of damage)

    Step 3: Validation of Island Lake contracts

    Collect, with your Azov, the trailer that you brought from the Smithville dam and deliver the cargo to validate the contract The rebirth of the wood factory . There is a semi-trailer near the trailer store that contains both the metal and concrete blocks you need to complete the contract. For the contract Power lines , there is another trailer in the next house with metal that you can deliver to the first point. Near the 3rd point you will find another trailer with all the metal needed to complete the contract.

    For Development instruments , rather than going to three locations to collect the drilling equipment, go to the nearest location 3 times, this will allow you to complete the mission faster.

    Finally, pour Port delivery , a container is located right next to you at the warehouse. With a little perseverance you can slide it onto your trailer using the loading crane or simply use the automatic loading area. With the container loaded, it’s time to head to the final Michigan map: Drummond Island. If you pass near the Tatarin, tow it behind your trailer. Otherwise, return to find it later to bring it to the last map.

    Conclusion

    At this point, you should have completed a total of 22 Watchtowers, 19 Upgrades, 8 Vehicles, and 71 Missions (19 Contracts + 45 Tasks + 7 Challenges) and be somewhere around level 14. Now let’s start the fourth and final map of the area, Drummond Island!

    [HOT] : SNOWRUNNER – THE GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GEARBOX Part one

    The gearbox is a central part of your gameplay in Snowrunner and it will play an important role in your progress in the game, as will your mastery of AWD and differential lock. It is essential to master its operation well so as not to get stuck at the first rut. With this guide, you will understand everything about how the gearbox works in Snowrunner.

    Quick overview of the gearbox

    Your vehicle’s gearbox is shown at the bottom right of your screen. Let’s start this guide with a quick overview of the different speeds:

    • Position N : it is the neutral point of your vehicle, it is started well but no gear is engaged. You will therefore not be able to move forward, but be careful, you continue to consume fuel. In addition, if you are on a slope, be sure to apply your handbrake as the N position does not block the wheels. In short, do not simply leave the vehicle at a standstill if you decide to take a break because you risk finding yourself dry or in the ravine next door …
    • La position R : it is the reverse gear of your vehicle. This position has the big advantage of being able to always be used at the same time as the AWD and the differential lock (of course if they are available on your vehicle), unlike the reverse gear of the automatic position.
    • La position A : this is the automatic position of your vehicle. By selecting this position you will not have much to do. When you accelerate your vehicle will shift gears (from 1 to 5) on its own and may also reverse. In automatic gearbox, however, you will not always be able to activate the differential lock.
    • La position L : these are the low speeds of your vehicle. Basically you have a low gear, but on the advanced gearboxes (like the one shown on the screen above) you have three low gears called “low -“, “low” and “low +”. At low speed you can still activate the AWD and the differential lock.

    • The H position: this is the high speed of your vehicle. You cannot start in this position otherwise your engine will stall. At high speed you cannot always activate the differential lock.

    When and why should you use automatic gears (A)?

    Automatic gears are quite aptly named. Your vehicle goes on its own and depending on your pace, shift from gear 1 to gear to allow you to accelerate. In position A, you can also move backwards without having to change position.

    Automatic gears are a bit of a catch-all. They will be mainly used on roads or on dry and little dented paths. You will not have much to do then except pay attention to the trajectories.

    Finally, note that in position A you will only be able to use the differential lock of your vehicle if it is “always active”, if it is “activated” you must necessarily switch to low gear to take advantage of it.

    Small additional tip, when you are in position A, you can quickly press your clutch button (L1 for example on PS4), this will make you change gears more quickly allowing you to gain a little speed.

    When and why should I use low speeds (L)?

    The L position of your gearbox decreases the overall power of your vehicle. This will have two direct consequences: you will go slower but in return you will have better grip and better control of your vehicle.

    This position is particularly useful when you are on surfaces where grip is poor (mud, snow, ice) or on very rough terrain. When riding in mud or snow, the L position will allow you to maintain a steady pace and not put too much power into the spinning of the tires, thus avoiding getting stuck. When you are driving on very steep or rock-filled terrain, the L position will allow you to keep perfect control of the vehicle and thus avoid overturning or pouring into the ravine.

    Advanced gearboxes offer three low speeds (L-, L and L +) which allows for a wider range of speeds to better adapt to the terrain. L- will be favored on very rough terrain and L + on easier access terrain.

    When the vehicle is in position L, it cannot reverse, unlike automatic speeds. It will therefore be necessary to return to the reverse (R) position to do so.

    Finally, it should be noted that low speeds have the great advantage of being able to be used all the time at the same time as the AWD and the differential lock, reinforcing their all-terrain aspect. In short, in all difficult situations, it is generally necessary to shift to low gears. You will certainly go slower, but you will be able to arrive at your destination.

    When and why should you use high speed (H)?

    In general, position H will be used much less often than position L or A. It is first important to remember that the vehicle must not be started with the gearbox positioned on H at the risk of stall the engine.

    [HOT] : SnowRunner: How do I get the mobile reconnaissance unit?

    PRESENTATION OF THE NEW MOBILE RECOGNITION UNIT

    Update 6.0 (of which you can find the complete presentation in this article) adds various new content to Snowrunner, especially for players with the Season Pass. Among them we note the addition of a brand new card, the Kovd Lake and the addition of two new vehicles, the SALT 16 Actaeon as well as the Ford F 750. In this article we will introduce you to other content added with Update 6.0; the new Mobile Recognition Unit trailer!

    How do I get the mobile reconnaissance unit?

    Getting the all-new Mobile Reconnaissance Unit trailer is easy. Go to the Kola Peninsula Lake Kovd map (added in patch 6.0 for players who own the Season Pass).

    You will then need to complete the first contract in the called area The forgotten prototype which asks you to deliver the reconnaissance unit from the west of the map to a point near the garage, to do this use a scout equipped with a hitch. To access the reconnaissance unit you must pass between the cars and the wall of the first building.

    Once the contract is complete, you will be able to use this new trailer or purchase new ones from the trailer store with a Scout vehicle for the price of $ 5,800.

    What is the mobile reconnaissance unit used for?

    The new trailer is part of a significant change in the exploration of maps design with Update 6.0. As we explained to you in a previous article, until Update 5.0, all the player had to do was visit all the Watchtowers to see almost every map in its entirety.

    This system is now complete. The Lake Kovd map is therefore much larger than the previous ones and only has 3 Watchtowers, all located to the south of the map. Once these 3 towers have been visited, a large majority of the map is still not revealed.

    The player will therefore have to explore the maps “manually”, and this new trailer will be of great use to us since it is a sort of mobile Watchtower!

    How does the new trailer work?

    To operate this new trailer, nothing too complicated there again:

    • Equip your favorite scout vehicle with the new mobile reconnaissance unit trailer.
    • Go to an unexplored point on the map.
    • Go to vehicle functions and select “Active radar”.
    • In the new dialog box then select « Radar » to start the scan of the area

    Once the scan is complete, a circular area all around you will be discovered. All you have to do is move elsewhere and start over to fully explore a map.

    A noter : to operate, the mobile reconnaissance unit needs fuel because 20L will be consumed with each use, so remember to have some reserves with you.

    Video and screens of the mobile recognition unit

    To complete our presentation of this brand new trailer added in update 6.0, find below a video presenting its use, as well as some screens taken on the PTS.

    [HOT] : How do I access the new Imandra map in SnowRunner?

    The update 7.0 from Snowrunner brings all new content and features to the game. It is part of the deployment of the first phase of the Season Pass of the game, called “Search & Recovery”. Among the novelties we will particularly note the addition of a brand new card named Imandra. Find in this article a presentation of this brand new playground!

    A noter : Access to this card is restricted to players who have the Snowrunner Season Pass.

    How to access the new Imandra card?

    To access the new Imandra card there is nothing very complicated. You will simply need to go to the Lake Kovd map in the Kola Peninsula region, take a vehicle out of the garage and go to the northwest of the map where you will find a waypoint. It will take you to the new Imandra map.

    Presentation of the new Kola Peninsula region

    The game had two American regions (Michigan and Alaska) and one Russian region (Taimyr). With the deployment of the first phase of the “Search & Discovery” Season Pass, things are rebalancing since the new Kola Peninsula region is also located in Russia.

    As much to say it right away, this new Russian region is not at all the extension of Taimyr. Say goodbye to the mud, big green forests and rain and take out the chains! It must be said that the Kola Peninsula is one of the northernmost regions of Russia, located east of Murmansk, not far from the northern border with Finland and Norway.

    After Alaska, we will therefore find with this brand new region a frozen universe. On the program: snow, ice, snow, ice, snow… and more ice! All illuminated by magnificent northern lights!

    We are therefore invited to bring out our most beautiful vehicles in this icy universe for carry out new expeditions against a background of historical research on the main military sites in the region.

    General presentation of the new Imandra card

    Located in the same region (Kola Peninsula) as the Lake Kovd map, the Imandra map obviously shares many points in common with the latter in terms of landscapes and general atmosphere. We are once again dealing with a map covered in snow and ice.

    A bit like Lake Kovd, the Imandra map is structured around a large central arm of the sea which is however unfrozen this time and which occupies a more important place. The map size is roughly similar to Lake Kovd, so it’s a nice new playground!

    In terms of activities to do on the map, the players will have to finish:

    • 4 contracts,
    • 18 tasks,
    • 1 challenge.

    It is therefore a little less than what was present on the previous card, but it should nevertheless occupy us a few hours. There is also a new vehicle to unlock, the TUZ 108 Warthog and 3 Watchtower to visit.

    To complete all these missions, players will have access to:

    • 3 loading areas where they can load metal beams, freight containers, fuel, spare parts and wooden planks.
    • 1 trailer store.
    • 1 garage (which requires completing certain missions to be unlocked).

    Regarding the exploration of the map, the development teams have kept the principle implemented on the Lake Kovd map. There are only 3 watchtowers which reveal only a very small part of the playing area. The player will therefore have to manually discover the map using themobile recognition unit.

    Finally, note that in addition to the large icy esplanades, players will be able to visit two villages, a warehouse, a factory, a military camp, a helipad and a farm. Find their location on the map below.

    Personal opinion on the Imandra card

    As for the Lake Kovd map, my opinion is rather positive about this new playground. The map is again large and pleasant to browse, many points of interest are present and the 23 missions should occupy us a few hours. We can just regret that there are a little less missions than on the previous map.

    I am also completely satisfied with the choice of the development teams of keep the new map exploration mode. Doing it on your own and not just going to a few watchtowers makes the experience much more engaging.

    In terms of difficulty, an additional notch has been taken compared to Lake Kovd. The large central zone present on this last map made it possible to move easily and quickly. Here, the central area is not frozen, we are deprived of this space. We are therefore obliged to pass on land where easily practicable paths are much less present. We therefore cross the map much more slowly.

    Another significant novelty compared to the Lake Kovd card, this time there is much more verticality on the map. You will very often be faced with very steep slopes, and completely icy. If you don’t have the right vehicle and the right equipment, skating is guaranteed …

    For a more in-depth look at the new Imandra map, find a selection of screenshots taken from the game below.

    [HOT] : Snowrunner: How to unlock the Caterpillar 770G?

    La update 10 Snowrunner is bringing new content to the game as part of the phase 2 rollout of the Explore and Expand Season Pass. She brings, among other things, two new cards as well as three new vehicles, including the Caterpillar 770G.

    Find in this article a complete presentation of the new vehicle, the Caterpillar 770G!

    How to unlock the Caterpillar 770G?

    To unlock the new Caterpillar 770G vehicle, first go to the garage on the Flood Hills map (Yukon region, Canada). In the garage parking lot accept the task “Dumpster against Dumpster”.

    Before doing it, accept the “North Bridge” task right next to it and repair the bridge using two Metal Beams. You have a warehouse that owns it just south of the garage. Once done, you can focus on the previously accepted task. Take an all-terrain truck with a low hitch and deliver the trailer to the garage. Attach a fuel trailer to your truck and refuel the vehicle. You unlock the Caterpillar 770G! Now you just have to go to your garage to be able to buy this new vehicle.

    General presentation of the Caterpillar 770G

    The Caterpillar 770G is a vehicle of the category “Heavy”. It is a really mastoc vehicle! It is also announced as the biggest vehicle in the game! It is therefore clearly intended for the transport of huge trailers.

    On the basic characteristics side, note a 530L tank, the absence of the AWD, a differential lock type “Always active” and respective notes B + A B-. You will find all of its basic characteristics on the screens below.

    Once unlocked, it will cost you the modest sum of $ 168,800 to obtain it.

    Now let’s take a look at the possible customization of the vehicle, which is not huge.

    -We will first note the possibility of having 3 different engines, the basic one and two improved versions found among the improvements present on the North Port and Perdro Bay maps in Alaska (see our guide to Alaska upgrades).

    -On the gearbox side, the player has two possibilities: “special” (basic choice), and “Advanced special”. The last option is on the Pedro Bay map in Alaska (see our guide).

    -The player then has only one type of suspension choice: « standard ».

    -Only one type of winch is also available for purchase: ” by default “.

    -As for the chassis modules, you will have the choice between 2 customizations: Heavy hitch saddle or heavy fuel trailer.

    What use for the Caterpillar 770G?

    The Caterpillar 770G has several key features. It is a vehicle in the “Heavy” category, very large in size, with a large tank but high consumption. In addition, it has no AWD and has a differential lock type “Always active”.

    Given these characteristics, it turns out to be relatively limited in extreme conditions. It’s not with the Caterpillar 770G that you are going to climb the worst snowy slopes or go full speed in water and mud!

    On the contrary, it will prove to be particularly efficient on roads and paths to pull huge trailers.. The presence of a heavy hitch as a possible module reinforces this aspect. It is therefore not a vehicle that we will use on a daily basis, but which will be particularly useful to us in end-of-map contracts which usually require us to haul huge trailers from one point to another.

    The possibility of equipping it with a fuel trailer with a capacity of 2000L can also lead us to use it as a support vehicle to be positioned in certain places on the map to refuel our other trucks.

    [HOT] : How to unlock the International Paystar 5600TS (SNOWRUNNER PHASE 3)?

    La phase 3, called “Locate & Deliver” continues the deployment of the Snowrunner Season Pass. It brings, among other things, two new maps in the Wisconsin region as well as three new vehicles: the Pacific P512, the International Paystar 5600TS and the Boar 45318.

    Find in this article a complete presentation of the new vehicle, the International Paystar 5600TS!

    How to unlock the International Paystar 5600TS?

    When you start Wisconsin Cards on Snowrunner, the International Paystar 5600TS will be blocked. You will therefore not be able to buy it at the garage. To unlock it you will have to go to the second map of the area, Grainwoods River.

    Go northeast, at the point indicated on the map below, and you will find the International Paystar 5600TS parked in the parking lot of a factory. Approach it and you can take control of it. At the same time, it will be unlocked in the garage for the sum of $ 126,600.

    General presentation of the International Paystar 5600TS

    The International Paystar 5600TS is a vehicle of the category “Heavy”. This new truck is therefore rather a large size, very long and equipped with 5 axles.

    On the basic characteristics side, we will note a tank of 280L, the possibility of having an AWD and an activatable differential lock and respective notes A- A- C-. You will find all of its basic characteristics on the screen below.

    Once unlocked, the Garage Purchase Price is $ 126,600.

    Now let’s take a look at the possible customization of the vehicle.

    We will first note the possibility of having 3 different engines, the basic one and two improved versions: the Westline V16 model 2300 (can be found on the map Northern port) and the Westline V16 model 2450 (findable on the map Peter Bay).

    • On the gearbox side, the player has four possibilities: “Balanced” (basic choice), “fine tuning” (found on the map Black badger lake), “High speed” (can be found on the map Mountain river) and “All-terrain” (can be found on the map Drummond Island).
    • As for the suspensions you will have the choice between two models: standard suspensions and raised suspensions (can be found on the map Black badger lake).
    • Four types of winches are available directly for purchase: standard heavy, long heavy, advanced heavy and dual engine heavy.
    • You can also change your differential lock: two bases your vehicle will not be equipped with it, but you can add an activatable lock (can be found on the map Grainwoods River).
    • You can also change the AWD of your vehicle: basic it will not be equipped, but you can add an activatable type AWD (found on the map Black badger lake).
    • As for the chassis modules, you will have a very large choice of customization: PC-320 heavy crane, logging front (novelty added with phase 3 for transporting tree logs), log loader crane (also new), various trailers, maintenance chassis modules, fuel reserve, a low hitch …

    What use for the International Paystar 5600TS?

    The International Paystar 5600TS is a “Heavy” type truck. After a few tries, this truck is quite manoeuvrable and has good speed. To go on difficult grounds, it will be preferable to equip it with the differential lock and to have unlocked the activatable AWD.

    The big strong point of this new vehicle is on the side of the customization. As shown above, gamers have a variety of Chassis Mods to choose from (over a dozen), making it useful in many situations.

    With the arrival of phase 3 “Locate & Deliver” which will take place in the world of logging, the International Paystar 5600TS will be ideal for transporting tree logs. It has many points in common with the Pacific P512 and will probably have a fairly similar utility. Notable differences, the International Paystar 5600TS has an AWD unlike the Pacific P512 but no top hitch.

    Do not hesitate to give us your opinion on this brand new International Paystar 5600TS truck, in the comment of the article or on our social networks facebook and twitter. Good discovery to all!

    [HOT] : SNOWRUNNER – HOW TO PLAY ON THE CONTROLLER ON PC

    If like me you play SnowRunner on PC, you might be wondering what peripherals the game recognizes and you might like to play the controller on PC.

    I started playing on the keyboard and find that in the end it has more disadvantages than advantages. It is certainly easier to navigate in the menus with the keyboard than with the joystick (and to use the various winch points in the process) but the control is much more complicated and imprecise. And after all, driving is a bit the sinews of war on SnowRunner!

    If you don’t have a console, don’t panic, the game is very well configured to use different peripherals. So how do you go about playing SnowRunner on PC with a controller?

    Option 1: Plug in the controller and… that’s it!

    • Connect your PSA or Xbox controller to your PC, either wired (use the supplied USB cable for this) or Bluetooth
    • Connect to the game and you will then see that the controller is directly taken into account instead of the keyboard. You will be able to change the key assignment in the control settings panel.

    If this first option works for you then good game But sometimes it doesn’t work so I invite you to read option 2.

    Option 2: Use controller recognition software (PS4)

    If by plugging in your controller, nothing happens, you will have to install a little software (this is valid for any game).

    Configure a PS4 controller

    • Download the DS4Windows software by clicking here.
    • Unzip the file on your desktop.
    • Start the installation of DS4Windows.exe.
    • Install the DS4 driver.
    • Connect your controller to the PC (either USB or Bluetooth), it will then be recognized and can be configured using the DS4Windows control panel.

    Set up an Xbox controller

    You shouldn’t have too many problems setting up your Xbox controller (especially if you are on the latest versions of Windows) since the Xbox is owned by Microsoft. If your Xbox controller is not recognized, however, be sure to update your plugins.

    To you the joys of driving on snowy or muddy roads with the joystick!

    SnowRunner players on Xbox and PlayStation consoles can now enjoy vehicles, maps and other community-created content through mod support.

    SnowRunner mods are available through mod.io, a cross-platform alternative to the Steam Workshop. You just need to create an account on the platform to take advantage of the 694 mods currently offered.

    Available since April 28, the off-road driving simulation launched its season 2 in November, including two new maps located in the Canadian plains of the Yukon. Two more seasons are planned, at least in the game’s first season pass.

    SnowRunner puts you behind the wheel of many massive and overpowered all-terrain vehicles from renowned brands such as Pacific, Navistar and many more, in open environments under extreme conditions. Explore over 15 new “sandbox” game environments up to 4x the size of MudRunner.

    Genre : Courses

    [HOT] : SNOWRUNNER – HOW TO UNDERSTAND AWD AND DIFFERENTIAL LOCK


    In the previous guide we presented in detail the operation of gearboxes on Snowrunner, I invite you to consult it if you have not already done so. Another essential element of the gameplay is the mastery of l’AWD and you differential lock. Elements at first glance a little complex, but which are not that much with a little explanation. The objective of this guide is therefore to present you in detail these two essential elements to be able to carry out all your missions and avoid getting stuck in the middle of a pond full of mud.

    Understanding everything to AWD (and RWD)

    In order to explain what AWD (and by extension RWD) is in Snowrunner, let’s start by making a small detour through the mechanics (I promise the detour will be quick because I am not a great specialist).

    Any rolling vehicle is equipped with a transmission which aims to transmit (it bears its name rather well …) the movement of the gearbox to the wheels. If the transmission drives the two front wheels of the vehicle this is called in French a traction (or FWD in English for Front Wheel Drive), if it drives the two rear wheels this is called a propulsion (or RWD in English for Rear Wheel Drive) and finally if it drives the four wheels of the vehicle at the same time, this is called an all-wheel drive or more simply a “4 × 4” (AWD in English for All Wheel Drive).

    In Snowrunner things are a little easier because there are only two different modes on your vehicle:

    • RWD : it is the “standard” mode, you only have the two rear wheels of your vehicle which are driving. This mode should be favored on roads as well as on dry and relatively uneven paths. It has the advantage of being fuel efficient but you can quickly get stuck.
    • AWD : in this mode all the wheels of your vehicle are driven and supplied by your engine. This mode is to be used as soon as you arrive on surfaces where the grip is poor or on rough terrain. Your drive wheels will give you more power and more grip. In return for this you will obviously consume much more than in RWD.

    In the end the difference between the two is not so complicated, is it? Unfortunately there are a few more special things to take into account in Snowrunner. Indeed, if you look at your vehicles in the garage, you will see that on the description you have several possible indications for the AWD, four precisely:

    • « Non » : it just means that the AWD will never be available on the vehicle in question, therefore impossible to switch to all-wheel drive, it is not a vehicle that will be very useful to you on complicated terrain.
    • « Capable » : this means that the AWD is not installed on the vehicle as standard, but that you can customize it to obtain an “activatable AWD”. It will be necessary to buy or find the ameloration.
    • “Exchangeable”: this means that the vehicle is standard equipped with an “activatable AWD”.
    • “Always active”: this means that the vehicle is standard equipped with an “AWD always active”.

    So there are two types of AWD in Snowrunner. With an “activatable AWD” you can decide to switch from RWD to AWD depending on the situation, while with an “always active AWD” you will not be able to do it, it will always be engaged, resulting in higher fuel consumption. . It is therefore a choice to make depending on the terrain you are going to practice.

    Finally, note that unlike the differential lock, you can use your AWD both in automatic (A), low (L) or high (H) speeds, there is no need to worry about this.

    Understand everything about differential lock

    Let’s start our explanation once again with a quick mechanical detour. The vehicles are equipped with a differential on the driving wheels which allows each wheel to be independent of each other. It is this device that makes it possible to turn because, thanks to the differential, the wheel located on the inside of the bend will turn less quickly than the one located on the outside. Very practical, isn’t it?

    Yes but now, the differential is not very well suited to difficult conditions. As soon as the vehicle attacks mud or snow the wheels will not turn at the same speed resulting in loss of grip and slippage. This will therefore slow you down or even block you completely.

    In Snowrunner, experience taking a vehicle without a differential lock out of your garage and rush into the first pool of mud. You will then quickly see that one wheel spins faster than the other, you will skate, lose grip and it is all over for you.

    This is where our famous differential lock will come into play (the “diff block” indicated above your gearbox in the game). By activating it you will force your wheels to turn at the same speed which will give you back grip and traction and allow you to face the most difficult terrain.

    The differential lock is therefore a very useful device for crossing complicated areas of the game, in addition to the AWD!

    As with the AWD, there are two types of differential lock:

    • « Bloc diff activable » : this means that it is up to you to decide when to use it and when not to use it. This device has the advantage of being more versatile, you can do both road and more complicated terrain. The downside is that you won’t be able to activate it outside of low speeds (L).
    • “Diff block always active”: as its name suggests, the differential lock will always be activated, it is impossible to deactivate it on your vehicle. It has the big advantage of being usable with all speeds, unlike the other mode. However, it has the disadvantage that it is also activated when you are on the road, and it is therefore rather a disadvantage.

    AWD and differential lock now hold no secrets for you. Their good use, coupled with good management of the gearbox, will allow you to get out of all situations.

    You will find opposite the link to our guide entirely devoted to the management of the gearbox in Snowrunner.
